| DA* 200mm f/2.8 Question | |

I've never specifically used it under those conditions (i.e., stage lighting), but from my experience with the copy I have, CA has not been an issue at all (I've used it for sports, portraits, and wildlife). You know, I have one for sale, and you can borrow it for a week if you want (just so long as you returned it or bought it).  | |

| Originally posted by Winder I am considering buying this lens, but I will be using it under stage lighting with lots of chrome and spot lights. The CA that is shown in various reviews has me worried. Does anyone have any field experience and/or pictures of this lens used for this type of work. I really can't stand CA and dealing with it in post is not what I am looking for. I want a high quality lens and everything else I have read about this lens is great. Just this one aspect that bothers me. If you are using that for stage (low light and wide open), it is always tricky but workable too These were taken almost wide open at F3.2 with low light, on stage fast action, crazy lighting (change every second) and high iso   Daniel | |

| Originally posted by Ahab Never had an issue with CA under any conditions with this lens. What reviews are you talking about? The axial CA is pretty strong in that sample picture. I really hate it when the metal guitar string have the purple halo or the microphone in front of the singer's face is showing the purple fringe. | |
